CHUANG CHE (CHINESE B. 1934) Landscape #1, 1970 acrylic and collage on canvas 129.5 x 167.5 cm (51 x 66 in.) signed and dated lower center; titled on verso PROVENANCE Forsythe Gallery, Ann Arbor, Michigan (label on verso) Sotheby`s, New York, December 12, 2006, lot 295 LOT NOTES Like much of the artist`s oeuvre, Landscape #1 synthesises the aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism with Chinese artistic traditions, with blocks of white and bright yellow offset by fluid black strokes reminiscent of landscape screen paintings. These textured, large-format abstractions are a mainstay of the artist`s work, who has remarked that his primary goal is to merge Western and Eastern artistic sensibilities. Start Price : 8000
